There may be some OTs that they consider at end of round 1.  Pick could compete with Brown or maybe move inside to G temporarily or permanently.  Maybe Cody Mauch is a possibility.

Hell yeah. I haven't really got to look into the tackles who could move to G yet so I'll check him out. But so far, it seems the pure guards don't line up with our spot.

Ok so obviously without film I checked him out and it seems he could rise to a late 1st rounder. Whether at T or G, if he can play, you find a spot for a guy like that👍 I'm definitely going to follow his journey.

Barkley will never get out of the Giants building.

Sure he will.  The Giants play 8 or 9 road games & I think he goes home at night too.

Did anyone NOT SEE OUR GUYS IN THE TRENCHES GET OUSHED AROUND???

Online sportsbook SportsBetting.ag released odds this week for the Pro Bowl running back Barkley’s next team (if not the Giants). The Baltimore Ravens were given the best odds at +400. The Buffalo Bills (+425), Denver Broncos (+500), New York Jets (+600), and New England Patriots (+700) were also listed in the top five.

Then who's gonna run the ball next year? Cook? Hines?

 

This regime, and I think it is smart, is always going to draft a running back in the 2nd-4th round area. Grind them out and after 4 years let them go. 1st round running back isn't happening because you get stuck with the 5th year option situation and it isn't a great strategy unless a guy like Barkley falls to you. Giving huge money to a guy like Barkley while not reaping the benefits of his rookie contract just doesn't make sense in terms of asset management. I think they pursue depth there at the position in free agency, maybe a Samaje Perine who gave us issues last week and brings a different style than Cook/Hines and will be cheap. They are just not going to pay a RB 12-15 million a year. This will never be a RB centric team.

 

Beane alluded to it. You can't pay a QB, a WR and other positions. They have big contracts in Allen, Diggs, Dawkins, White, Morse, Von Miller, Milano, with the eventual need for a couple of safeties and possibly a Mike backer, there is likely zero chance they would chase Barkley. 

 

I can tell you this, when it is time to extend Joe Burrow, the Bengals will be moving on from Joe Mixon. It just won't fit.
